At the time of writing, MOSS' output does not have syntax highlighting. Syntax highlighting can help to more quickly compare two matches, e.g., you can quickly ignore a commented block of code.

Dependencies

• python3
• beautifulsoup4: pip3 install beautifulsoup4

Usage

• Download matches from a MOSS report using download-moss-matches.py
• Prettify them using prettify-moss-matches.py
• Use the --help option to see more details

Note that prettify-moss-matches.py uses the source paths listed in the match files to find the source files on disk:

• E.g., if you ran moss like run-moss.py --src-dir-pattern "../asst1/os-*/threads" ..., then the match files would contain paths like ../asst1/os-001/threads/thread.c.
• So the --moss-submission-root-dir option of prettify-moss-matches.py should point at a directory dir such that dir/../asst1/os-001/threads/thread.c refers to a valid source file.

Examples

• Download MOSS matches from a report

  python3 ./download-moss-matches.py \
    --report-url http://moss.stanford.edu/results/9/999999999999 \
    --output-dir ../submissions/asst1-matches/
  

• Prettify downloaded matches

  python3 ./prettify-moss-matches.py \
    --moss-matches-dir ../submissions/asst1-matches/ \
    --moss-submission-root-dir ../submissions \
    --templates-dir html-templates \
    --output-dir ../submissions/asst1-matches-pretty/
